Wood heaters are estimated to be responsible for more particulate pollution-related deaths than all the cars on our roads. This national map shows which areas are affected the most.
I’m not so sure above how firewood cost is calculated on that page.
I’m in a rural area, and see people collecting & delivering firewood to their elderly parent to subsidize heating costs. To the recipient, that heating cost is $0. If the person collecting also heats with firewood, I could easily see true costs at sub $1000/yr to supply themselves and their parent.
It makes no economic sense already.
